• HP StorageWorks XP Disk/Cache Partition allows you to partition the storage and the cache

of an XP12000, XP10000, and SVS200.

separate Device Manager server for each partition. If you use the Device Manager to link and

launch XP Remote Web Console, you can use a single server to manage a partitioned disk array.

Partition user guide.
